Live Patching Now Available For Linux
Found on Slashdot on Thursday, 12 February 2015
"You may never have to reboot your Linux machine ever again, even for kernel patching," and excerpts from the long (and nicely human-readable) description of newly merged kernel code that does what Ksplice has for quite a while (namely, offer live updating for Linux systems, no downtime required), but without Oracle's control.
Great news. Now we can get rid of this abomination called systemd which promised faster boot times before it started to take over everything it can.
